Gen. Logan's sudden Death

|
 Is 8 great shock to the nation. Few knew that he was even indisposed when the news
 of his death flashed over the wires and thou
 sands of people stood aghast at the sudden
 change from health and vigor to cold and si- lent death. For the past twenty-five years l there has been no man more constantly be- | fore the public than General John A. Logan. | Through all his career he has been noted for his fearlessness and purity of character, both
 in public and private life. Loved by friends
 and respected by enemies he will be mourned | by all.
 His death adds another to the long list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so common rheu l matism, none is more sudden or dangerous, l and there is certainly none which so com pletely baffies medical skill. Only one remedy has yet been discovered which is a sure and safe cure for rheuma- tism and it's twin disease, neuralgia, and that | is Athlophoros In thousands of cases Ath- lopboros has proved quick and certain cure for these diseases. In connection with th- l lophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect cure.
 In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible
 diseases, which far more dangerous than is generally considered.
 Rheumatism, even though in very mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to the heart and cause
 instant death. Why trifie with disease so
 fatal when certain cure can be obtained of any druggists
 Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
 and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
 not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor os Co.,, 112 Wall st., New York, will send
 price which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros
 and soc for Pills.
 For liver and kidney diseases dyspepsia, indiges-
 tion, weakness, nervous debility, diseases of wo-
 men, constipation, headache, impure blood, Gc.,
 Athlophoros Pills unequalled.

The Brilliant Success of the Nation
 Opera Company at the Club"

The Brilliant Success of the National Opera Company at the ssHub."
 BOSTON, Jan 4.-The Boston Theater was packed to the doors tonight when the Ma tional Opera company gave magnificent per formance of Gounod's Faust. Taken altogether it was unquestionably the most elaborate and beautiful representation of Gounod's ever popular opera ever given in Boston. Emma Juch, who received 8 most enthusiastic well come, was in fine voice and made in every respect beautiful Marguerite. William Ludwig gave the best representation of Mephisto, both vocally and dramatically, ever given here, and Charles Bassett, who has pure tenor voice of excellent quality and good volume, made decided success as Faust Jessie Bartlett Davis made an at tractive Sietel and Alonzo Stoddard and Mathilde Phillips gave the parts of Valentine and Martha with admirable effect. The opera was given in it's entirety, including the pacchanal ballet of the fourth act, which is the finest ballet ever seen here. The mount ing of the opera was elaborate and pictur- esque and the brilliant spectacular effects in the great ensemble scenes have never been equalled here. The performance was received with the greatest enthusiasm and recalls were numerous during the evening In the corri- dors between the acts praise was heard on all sides for the splendid work of the National Opera company in this great production.

Moxfe in q New Role.

There was probably never time when the churches antagonized the rum trade as much as now. Prohibition is the cry everywhere, and has had the benefit of criminal law for thirty years, yet it has only proved so far that it cannot draw out leviathan with a hook, or divide the wheat from the tares. The liquor interests flourish in spite of the law, indignation meetings, acrimonious dis cussions, and prisons Two years ago it was learned the Moxie Nerve Food Plant cured the liquor appetite and satisfied the drinkers better, leaving only good, vigorous health; and now word comes from Chicago, and many other places, that the barkeepers are obliged to sell it on account of the demand, and it is four Moxies to one whiskey It is generally believed. now, that it is the most successful enemy of rum, in that it is profta- bls, and ne tares are likely to be choked by the superior growth of rival.

THE BAY STATE COURTS.
Changes Recommended by the Con Vniftee n 0n RevIsson -e-EA }

Changes Recommended by the Com. s- mittee on Revision. H7
 BOSTON, Jan. 4.-The committee appointed at the last session of the legislature to revise the judiciary system of the State relating to inferior courts held it's last session to-day. The most important change which the com mittee recommends is the form of a constitu- tional amendment doing away with the life tenure of the justices of the lower courts. The committee will recommend that the ten- ure of these positions be for term of seven years. In this commonwealth there are about fifty courts which would be affected by a change of this character whose judges receive salaries from $500 to s, ,00O. Another reccm- mendation is that the judges of the Superior court be allowed to resign at the age of sev- enty years on pension of three fourths of their salary, providing they have held urged that the municipal courts of East Boston, Charlestown, South Boston and Roxbury be done away with and their business be transferred to the central court where it is proposed to hold four sessions a day. With this end in view it is suggested that three additional justices of the central court be appointed. Under the present sys- tenn the justices of the lower courts hear complaints for the purpose of issuing war rants for arrest and afterward sit in judg- ment upon the same case. It is the opinion of the committee that judge hearing a case who had previously heard the complaint and acted upon the case would be unable to give it proper and unbiased consideration. The committee will recommend bill pro viding that session of the county court be held in all of the counties once month and the cases to be tried by jury or sittings of the Superior court in all the counties, as is now provided in Suffolk county. It provides for more speedy trial in the Superior courts. It is understood that this committee will recom-- mend the abolition of the municipal, police and district courts throughout the State

THE INTERESTS OF LABOR.

| Some Novel ana Important Reeom-
 mendatIons in Governor Hill's Mes.
 sage.
 ALBANY, Jan 4.-Governor Hills message was delivered to the legislature to-day. He devoted considerable space to the interests of labor. The propriety of 1essening the hours of daily labor of workingmen so far as the same can be properly controlled by law is commended to careful consideration. It is the true polio. of the State to elevate and dignify labor, not by exacting the greatest amount of toll, but by legitimately encour- aging every honest effort to improve their condition and requiring that only reasonable hours shall constitute a days work, for which full and adequate compensation should be received. The fact should be recognized that in all branches of business and in all the activities of life there is growing tendency toward greater relaxation from toll and more recreation, especially in certain seasons. He favors whole Saturday holiday and recom- mends that the first Monday in September be made legal holiday as "labor's day" Concerning the State board of arbitration he says the wisdom of it's creation is becoming more apparent and recommends that the commission be extended for term of years. He comments to favorable consideration
 
 and better regulation of the tenant houses in the larger cities.
 The Troy and Boston Sold.
 TROY, N. Y., Jan. 4.-There was quite sensation in business circles here to-day when it was stated on authority that the Troy and Boston railroad had been sold to the Fitch burg railroad. The officers of the company are very retieent, but investigation shows that majority of the bonds and stock has been secured by the Fitchburg company. Four million dollars in first, second and third mortgage bonds are assumed by the Fitchburg and $1 ,000, 900 of Fitchburg stock is given for like amount of Troy and Bos- ton stock. This makes the purchasing price $5, 400, GOO, the Fitchburg stock being quoted at 40. while the Troy and Boston stock was considered almost worthless. The price is thought very high. Business men cannot understand what the sale means. Now that the Hoosaac Tunnel is in the Fitchburg com pany's hands they may use the Troy and Bos- ton as through line to Troy, but the gen. eral belief is that the purchase was made to prevent other roads from buying the tunnel from the State.
